A FWD 29'-05", AFT 31'-00"

B FWD 29'-08", AFT 30'-09"

C FWD 29'-11", AFT 30'-07"

D FWD 29'-01", AFT 31'-04"

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) FWD 29'-08", AFT 30'-09". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the Stability Data Reference Book and the information provided in the table ST-0007 about the cargo loaded and discharged. The Stability Data Reference Book provides guidance on how to calculate the final drafts based on the initial drafts and the changes in cargo. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts calculated using the information provided. Option A has the forward draft too high, Option C has the aft draft too low, and Option D has the aft draft too high.
